Three rooms older than the county
An 1805 barn strung with lights, a hall with a stone wine cellar beneath it, and a brick meetinghouse where music carries.
An 1805 barn strung with lights, a hall with a stone wine cellar beneath it, and a brick meetinghouse where music carries.
Built by the Harmony Society for sheep, raised by the Mennonites for hay, and now the best-lit barn in Butler County.
Four bays of hand-hewn timber, 42 by 64 feet, with room for a ceremony at one end and dancing at the other. Rentals run Friday to Monday, decorate on Friday, celebrate on Saturday and clean up on Sunday.
The practical room — kitchen, bar, stage, accessible restrooms — with the Harmony Society's stone wine cellar directly below.
The hall seats 120 at tables, with a raised stage-and-bar area for a band or a head table. Down a stone stair is the vaulted cellar the Harmonists dug in 1809: 42 by 18 feet of flagstone and candlelight, for a toast, a tasting or the photographs.
A small, reverent room on the National Register, kept exactly as the Mennonite community built it.
Original bleacher-style benches for 130 to 150, a pulpit platform for the ceremony, and acoustics that flatter a string quartet or a single voice. Bring your own restroom facility; the museum will tell you who to call.
Equal to the rental fee, charged when the contract is signed, and returned after the event upon inspection of the room and return of the key.
Every rental requires an event-insurance form on file. Most homeowner's policies or a one-day event policy will suffice; the office will provide the form.
Museum members get discounted rental rates on all three venues. Membership starts at $25.
Requests go to the museum office. You will receive a response within three business days; or call (724) 452-7341.
No commitment — this just starts the conversation. The office will confirm the date is free and send the contract and insurance form.
